What the worst skincare advice you've ever been given?

Mine is you don't need to wear sunscreen if you're not leaving the house 🤣

If that's the worst advice you got, you have a blessed life. 😉 I was told to dry out my pimples with alcohol, pop them if they have a white cap or use a needle if they don't 😭😭

Funnily enough, in my experience, if I stayed out of the sun for a long period, my skin got much worse and then got better when I spent more time outside in the sun. I have no idea what's the connection, though. Maybe vitamin D?

and coconut oil is highly comedogenic, it must stay mile away from the face skin 🙃
